The Palmer Museum of Art at Penn State has announced its summer 2018 exhibition schedule. This summer, the museum will present recent large-scale paintings by contemporary artist Julie Heffernan, as well as exhibitions drawn from the museum’s permanent collection, including a display of documentary and modernist photographs of the city, and a selection of posters from the golden age of American poster art.

This spring, the Palmer Museum of Art at Penn State received a major grant of $100,000 from the Henry Luce Foundation to produce a catalogue that will illustrate and detail its impressive American art collection. The four-year grant will provide funding for the research and production of the catalogue, which will highlight around 100 of the most aesthetically and historically significant examples of the Palmer’s 4,500-some works of American art.
